Lyric Theatre HK$1.5 billion works contract awarded
Gammon Construction has been awarded a HK$1.5 billion contract by the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (WKCDA) in Hong Kong to deliver the extended basement and public infrastructure works for the L1 Contract for Lyric Theatre Complex and Extended Basement at WKCD.
     The L1 Contract for Lyric Theatre Complex and Extended Basement at WKCD involves excavation and lateral support followed by construction of a two-level reinforced concrete structure, as well as public infrastructure works including drainage, a traffic lay-by and associated temporary works.
     A number of innovations that improve safety and productivity in delivery of the works will be employed by the contractor, including modular components that can be fabricated at its offsite steel factory before being bolted together onsite without the need for welding. An in-house instrumentation and monitoring team has also developed a bespoke system for the project to help monitor and manage movements and ensure the nearby Airport Express railway is not affected.
     The project team will be further supported throughout the contract by other in-house divisions including the virtual design and construction department which will develop the digital building information model and use other related technologies such as 3D scanning and 3D printing to assist in the construction process.
     Work on the project is due to commence in early 2018 and is expected to be substantially complete by mid-2020. A workforce of 450 will be engaged at the peak construction period.
